If i deleted the file and now I make backups with twrp will they work or no. Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] d3athsd00r:
No. TWRP only works with TWRP and cwm only works with cwm.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] phonetechkid:
No I mean will the backups that I make with twrp still work when I restore them on twrp. Even though I deleted cwm blobs backuo

[HTC EVO 3D] tntsjp:
Hi all,

I am helping a friend with his EVO 3D phone. It's S-ON and had MeanRom 2.4 installed and he wanted to update to MeanROM 4.5. So, I did a nandroid before I did anything. I used Flash Image GUI on MeanROM 4.5 and then rebooted into recovery and flash MeanROM 4.5. Needless to say, it reboots and gets stuck on HTC splash screen.

So, I went back and restored the nandroid backup I made before I installed the new version of MeanROM and it gets stuck on the same screen. He has many nandroids backup files on his phone and each one I try to restore gets stuck on the same HTC splash screen.

I'm at a lost.. BTW, the phone has an old version of TWRP on it.

I would like to restore the last nandroid if possible but i guess any one of them will be better than the HTC splash screen.

Please help

Thank you...
[HTC EVO 3D] tntsjp:
Got it to install 4.5 and boots up now.. no idea why, just thankful :)
[HTC EVO 3D] oohaylima:
Can you remember the steps you were doing to get it passed the splash screen?
[HTC EVO 3D] Jsparta26:
To save you anymore grief, I recommend flashing 4ext recovery. Download 4ext updater from googleplay or you can pay for the full version to support development.

Why you ask? Here's a couple good reasons.

1. Most ROMs are 4ext optimized so it makes flashing easier.

2. The most important reason of all is that this recovery allows you to flash kernels from within using smart flash. When you download the recovery through the app and installs it. It will ask if your phone is s-on. Hitting yes enables smart flash.

Even though twrp is more compatible than cwm, 4ext has been thoroughly tested on evo 3d with very minimal issues.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bambadidi:
Hey guys,

Yesterday i rooted my TF101 for the first time, because i wanted to test some 4.2. Roms on the Transformer. No i have some questions:

1.) How can i do a full wipe in TWRP before i flash a new Custom Rom ?? I cant find it there. So i had done a factory reset, wipe system, Format internal storage. Is this OK or should i do it in a different way?

2.) Can i change the "inverted scrolling" when i'm using the Dock? I like the normal scrolling much more. I'm using the EOS4 Rom with the KAT kernel.

I hope you can help me...

Sry guys for some mistakes. My english is not the best ;)

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frederuco:
To do a full wipe. Wipe the System, then do a factory reset (wipes cache, Davlik cache and /data/ excluding /data/media/). The only unwiped part is the data/media (internal /sdcard/)

If you want to wipe that, there is an internal storage wipe option.

For the touchpad, open the EOS Settings. Top right change from Interface to System

Device Settings

Touchpad Mode

AW: Some questions from a root beginner

Okay thank you. So when i flash a rom its better to wipe the internal storage?

Overclocked my tab to 1,4 Ghz and its pretty fast now.

But why is my score for the 3d graphics so low ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frederuco:
Wiping the entire internal is not always necessary, but you definitely want to do a factory reset (uninstall all the apps) when flashing different ROMs. If not, remannts of one ROM can lead over into another and cause app crashes and force closes that are annoying.

When upgrading to a newer version of the same ROM it is not necessary, you can just wipe the caches and install the ROM.

I personally do not worry about benchmarks. Does it feel fast to you? If so, then it is all good.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clouse2013:
I also prefer to wipe the system as well when switching roms. I even like to upon updating the same rom. I ususally wipe system and cache for that. I also wipe dalvik cache when changing kernels.

Rooted my dhd,and loaded Jellytime..very addictive trying new roms.My main promblem is apps.Everytime I try a new rom,I have download all the apps again....??Is there a way to back up my apps and then reinstall them after installing a new rom...???

Many thanks
[General Questions and Answers] devwithzachary:
Yes, and this could very easily been found with a quick search...

You can use the app "Titanium Backup" to backup all your apps and there data

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup&hl=en
[General Questions and Answers] police1:
Thanks for the reply.But if the apps disappear when the new rom is flashed,does titanium app not also disappear..??
[General Questions and Answers] Nigeldg:
Yep. You backup your apps in Titanium, flash the new ROM then download Titanium backup again and restore your apps. It's quite self-explanatory if you actually tried using the app.
[General Questions and Answers] Lifehacker7:
It creates the backup files on SD card, so that on data reset, the app vanishes but it's files remain in SD. So you should download titanium backup once you flash a new ROM and it will take care of apps further.

You can even backup the app data with TB, like your app settings, game data etc.

But I've seen that restoring game with data doesn't always work well.

But it works cool with other apps.

LIFE! Enjoy it while you Still have it!
[General Questions and Answers] Sib64:
You can restore all of your apps by your Google Account.

In fact, go to your settings:

=> backup and reset

=> look if Backup my settings is ticked (if not - tick it)

=> look your backup account, if it's good

=> Look Automatic Restore is ticked (if yes, it's good for you, if not it's bad, but tick it for the next time)

And if you see that Automatic restore is ticked, just synchronize your Google account, and let's play.

All of your Apps ans Settings will be restored
[General Questions and Answers] jugg1es:
You can get titanium backup to create a flashable update zip with all your apps, if you flash rom, gapps and then the update zip titanium will restore all the data for the apps after the phone restarts

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] umair42:
You are using 6.1.1.b.1.54 .It is not directly rootable.You have to flash 6,1.1.b.1.10 kernel first.

Follow these steps :

* Flash 6.1.1.b.1.10 kernel with flashtool.

* Root with bin4ry or with flashtool.

* Flash back 6.1.1.b.1.54 kernel

You will be rooted.

Soon I will be receiving my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8013 (White) hopefully Thursday 1/24/13

I'm familiar with the Samsung Galaxy line as I've own the S II and currently own the S III

Reading through these forums before I decided to purchase the Note 10.1, over the Nexus 10, I was excited to see so much development for this tablet. I'm guessing when I receive this tablet it will have ICS 4.0 installed, here is my question

What is the first thing I should to do the tablet when I receive it should I do an OTA to get it to JellyBean or would it be better for me to just root it and the flash a provided ROM in the forum to upgrade it to 4.1.2 via TWRP?

IMy guess is that I should not do any OTA and just root, install recovery and then flash a 4.1.2 ROM, for now I'll be sticking a stock ROM since I kinda like TouchWiz

Thank you in advance for all suggestions!

I can do the pure stock thing for a few days, with root of course!

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asdfuogh:
Yep. I flashed a lot of different custom roms on my old tablet (asus transformer), but I've never really found the need to do it for this one. I'd advise you to root with the exynos exploit apk (because it's easy, but it might not be as safe), then use mobile odin to flash to 4.1.2 while keeping root. Then, with root, you can add multiwindow to all your apps with another apk available in the Themes and Apps section here!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calum96:
If your stay stock on 4.1.1 why not just ota as its easier then root with exploit app? This is what I did, love touchwiz all I've done is made more apps available in multiwindow and rooted :)

Then to fix that i decompressed it and got the zImage file …. send it to the device and checked the re-partition option with a pit file

apparently this pit file did a wrong repartition so the device has no idea about the download mod partition or even the recovery

my device is not recognized on any thing odin, heimdal !!!!

If anyone has any idea about fixing this **** I'am in please tell me or even a chipset to be changed cause i really don't think that wrong repartitioning will cause all of this

But how safe is it? how easy? does it work? someone said i can root my phone so my sd card can act as the internal memory. But if i do this, can i still eject my sd card, put it in my computer and take files off there? should i root? someone said there is a 1superclick to root and de root, anyone?

For me rooting was easy, i used a different program, but the end result is the same. Yes there are scripts etc that will enable you to use a partition on the sd for apps.

I rooted mine by flashing this file through the stock recovery.

I don't remember a lot about the stock recovery but if you can, before rooting, backup your ROM.

Download the above file and put it on the root of your SD card (ie. NOT in a folder)

Boot into recovery mode by powering off your device and then powering on holding power+home.

in recovery you can scroll through the options using your volume buttons and select an option by pressing the home button. pressing the power button will take you back a screen.

Choose apply update from sd card option

Scroll through until you find the AceGingerRoot.zip

Press the home button to apply the update.

Now when you reboot the system you should see an android pirate icon in your app drawer. This app should be called SuperUser.

From here on out, you can use app2sd scripts, unlock your phone if desired, change your recovery image (CWM 5 is recommended), play with custom ROMs, etc.

Be warned that your WARRANTY WILL BE VOIDED and that I TAKE ABSOLUTELY NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE DONE TO YOUR DEVICE (though if you follow the directions, nothing bad should happen.)

STAY AWAY FROM ROM MANAGER. IT KILLS ACES.

If AceGingerRoot.zip does not work, try this file instead: upd_1.zip

if that one fails use root.zip

Turn off your device and leave it for a few seconds.

Power on holding power and home buttons together.

When the Samsung logo appears, let go of power and continue holding home.

You should see a screen with blue text, touch will be disabled. That is recovery mode. When you see this, you can let go of home and scroll with volume up/down. Use there home button to select an option.

Summary:

APNs in GB and JB is very different because of different APN-conf lists in the 2 roms.

Therefore my APNs change name + settings from GB to JB.

I can send MMS in GB, but not in JB.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shifted-is:
I haven't notice my APNs change - as far as I am aware, the APNs are taken directly off of the SIM card?

Mine are identical no matter what phone I stick the card into, the difference on my own phone is that I've had to save the customised settings to make MMS work (I'm on Telstra AU).
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gruntyoldbag:
My APNs change.

Only reason I noticed is because my Telco has different daughter companies and partners.

If I flash a stock GB ROM it choses the correct APNs.

When I flash JB Roms, it picks wrong APNs with wrong settings - still same company though.

I can not even chose the correct APNs - they do not show up on the list.

I tested this 3 times today:

Installed GB = Correct APNs

Installed JB = Wrong APNs.

I do not know how the phone chose which APNs to show - but it is a fact that JB choses APNs differently than GB - and that might be the reason for some of our MMS problems.

I tried using "APN Backup & Restore" and it works flawlessly when I restore my GB APNs to my JB Rom

I will investigate this further later today.
